"On a misty, moonless night, along twisted cobblestone lanes illuminated only by the glow of ancient iron lanters, you follow a scent as dark as the night itself, the exotic fragrance hauntingly familiar, compelling, irresistable. Open the tin. Discover the mystery."
This description adorns the tin of a new baccy that has risen to the top of my "faves" list! There has been a lot of chatter on YouTube, Instagram, and other social media sites regarding this blend of baccy that has really piqued my interest. It didn't take long for me to jump on the bandwagon because it's that good! When I say it's that good, I mean it's that good!! I smoked through my first tin and have already received another batch of 5 recently :) Call me greedy, but I love it!
The baccy is comprised of rough cuts of Red Virginia, Latakia, and spiced Oriental which is moist dark brown and black and pressed into two 1oz. bricks/plugs per tin. The bricks are easy to crumble and you should probably let it dry out for a few before packing your bowl. The tin note has your typical campfire and sweetness of the Virginia and Latakia.
At first light, you get nice puffy smoke and nice combination of sweet and salty flavors on the palate. I've been puffing it like a freight train! It must be laced with crack because I can't put it down! It's fantastic from beginning to end and I highly recommend this blend to all pipe smokers :) So get out to your local or online tobacconist and build up your stash because if you're like me and love your VA/per baccy, you'll never want to run out. Sweet smokes my friends...sweet smokes!
BTW...the Glenmorangie Single Malt Scotch isn't bad at all. I'm no scotch connisseur, but I prefer mine with a little splash of water...'tis tasty!
